HPUX11 null route?

[G. Vrijhoeven]

Hi to all,

I have MC/SG referention server (server1) and created a package on it with a business copy. The data in that package is the same as the production server (server2, contains package1) and it acts like that. I like to add a no route to production packages but i do not know how.

i tried:

route add package1 127.0.01 (this works with ux10.20 but not with UX11)

route add package1 /dev/null (/dev/null: bad value)

The second idea i had was adding the packages in /etc/hosts. This works but the list in to long.

127.0.0.1 localhost package1 package1.packa.nl package2 package2.pack.nl etc...


thanks for your help in advance,

Gideon

Hi,

Still no relply...

solution

the nsswitch.conf points to files DNS

in the /etc/hosts file i created a line:
10.0.0.1 package1 package2 etc.
i am able to put in 40 "servers" in one line.

the gateway (router) does not know 10.0.0.1 and drops the package.

this is not a sollution i like but it works.

Does any one have an other option ?

Honestly, I didn't understand your problem. But from the solution that you yourself found, I kind of understood that you don't want to have the floating IP that of the production. You can change this IP to somethingelse other than production IP?. Or create another private network and configure the floating IP on it.

Hi,

Like sridhar said, i'm also not able to understand what you are trying to do. If you have already solved your peoblem, just ignore this message. Else try to put your thoughts in a more clear manner for us to understand.

Sorrie if i am not clear.

We recreated a copy of our production MC/SG package. We have XP-256 and business copy makes 1 on 1 copy of the production package (vg). Since the production server is a central server it makes connections with a lot of other production servers. Thats fine for the production server but the referention server tries the same. I am looking for a way to prevent connections from the referention server to other production servers.

This is the problem, i found a solutions but i hope someone can give me alternative options.
